Sweet and Sour Sauce

This recipe has you add food coloring to make it look authentic, but we didn't do that.

1/2 C Water
1/4 C White Vinegar
1/2 C Sugar
1/8 C Corn Starch + 1/8 C Water
Red food coloring (optional)

In a saucepan add water, white vinegar, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil. In a separate bowl mix together the corn starch and water and whisk until combined. Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan. Whisk all ingredients together. (Add food coloring if preferred) Reduce to a simmer and cook until it has thickened, about 5 minutes.
